Three new records of Aleuroviggianus Iaccarino (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Aleyrodidae) from Iran with identification key. Munis Entomology & Zoology, 4 (1): 117-120] ABSTRACT: A total of three Aleuroviggianus species including, A. adrianae Iaccarino, A. halperini Bink-Moenen, and A. zonalus Bink-Moenen were identified for the first time from Iran. Identification key, host plants and distributional data are given in this paper. KEYWORDS: Aleyrodidae, Aleuroviggianus, New record, Quercus, Iran The plant genus Quercus (Fagales: Fagaceae), commonly known as oaks, comprises species which are deciduous or evergreen trees or shrubs. There is not any literature about the exact number of Quercus species, but probably 500 species exist in different regions of the world (Weeda et al, 1985). Oaks have a mainly Holarctic distribution but in the Old World they extend from Europe to the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, and in the mountains of Asia they can be found as high as 3000 m above sea level (Camus 1939). In a total of 14 oak tree species including, Q. brandtii, Q. calliprinos, Q. cardochorum, Q. castanefolia, Q. coccifera, Q. iberica, Q. infectoria, Q. komarovii, Q. libani, Q. macranthera, Q. persica, Q. petraea var. iberica, Q. ithaburensis, Q. rotundifolia (Kiabi et al. 1993; Modarres Awal 1997; Ghahari et al, 2008) were identified from different regions of Iran. The family Aleyrodidae comprising 1556 accepted species names in 161 genera (Martin and Mound 2007). The most common species which attack to the oak trees are Aleuroviggianus spp. This genus is a pen-Mediterranean genus with six included species, and yet none of these six had been described in Bink-Moenen and Gerling (1990) and four more by Bink-Moenen (1992). However all these species feed only on evergreen oaks (Martin et al, 2000). Totally six Aleuroviggianus species were identified from all over the world so far which all of them are from West Palearctic especially Mediterranean region. The whitefly fauna of Iran is very diverse but unknown. Although, there have been a number of publications of whiteflies in different regions (Kiriukhin 1947; Zarrabi 1991, 1998a, b; Ghahari & Hatami 2001; Manzari and Alemansoor, 2005), but there has been no account of the group across the whole region. The whiteflies species which recorded from the oak leaves are Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Alemansoor 1992; Ghahari et al, 2007). In the present research the genus Aleuroviggianus Iaccarino 1982 as one of the oaks' pests in Mediterranean and Middle East regions is studied. 118 _____________Mun. Ent. Zool. Vol. 4, No. 1, January 2009__________ MATERIALS AND METHODS The faunstic on which our work is based have been conducted by the collection of whitefly puparia and prepared in the method of Bink (1979). The illustration of each species show the dorsal half of a pupal case on the left and the ventral side on the right, also the margin, submargin around the tracheal pore area and the vasiform orifice, along with other necessary details. The characters were described as observed in mounted pupal cases, except for the coloration and wax cover that were described from intact specimens. The terminologies used were those of Bink-Moenen (1983) and Martin (1985). Distribution data and host plants were adapted from Bink-Moenen (1992), Martin et al, (2000) and Evans (2007). The aleyrodid specimens of this paper are preserved in HGCol (Hassan Ghahari Collection).

Batsatsashvili Ecological Gradients (West-East) and Vegetation of the Central Great Caucasus Abstract Nakhutsrishvili, G., Abdaladze, O. & Batsatsashvili, K.: Ecological Gradients (West-East) and Vegetation of the Central Great Caucasus. — Bocconea 29: 157-168. 2021 — ISSN: 1120-4060 printed, 2280-3882 online. The Great Caucasus is well known for its impressive plant cover. Uneven topography, rich geol- ogy, pronounced climatic gradients, and position between Asia, Europe, and the Mediterranean have contributed to biological diversity of this biodiversity hotspot. The mountain chain covers a pronounced west to east climatic gradient with its western part being more humid and eastern more continental. The paper shows how vegetation follows the climatic gradient and how local orographic environment allows meso-/xerophillous plant communities break in places the gen- eral west to east humid to continental pattern through regions located along the gradient. Special emphasis is made on ‘small refugia’ of mesophillous Tertiary relict flora still preserved in some gorges of the eastern Great Caucasus. Key words: The Great Caucasus, Ecological gradient, Alpine vegetation, Plant diversity. Introduction The Great Caucasus is stretched from the Taman peninsula in the north-west to the Apsheron peninsula in the south-east along a distance of about 1500 km. To the north the Main Watershed range of the Great Caucasus is paralleled by a side range, in the central part of which the highest peaks of the Great Caucasus (> 5000 m a.s.l.) are located.

    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 43, 2013, pp. 95-124 The scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) of oak trees (Fagaceae: Quercus spp.) in Israel MALKIE SPODEK1,2, YAIR BEN-DOV1 AND ZVI MENDEL1 1Department of Entomology, Volcani Center, Agricultural Research Organization, POB 6, Bet Dagan 50250, Israel 2Department of Entomology, Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, POB 12, Rehovot 76100, Israel Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) of four species of oaks (Fagaceae: Quercus) in Israel namely, Q. boissieri, Q. calliprinos, Q. ithaburensis, and Q. look were collected and identified from natural forest stands during the period 2010-2013. A total of twenty-seven species were determined from nine scale insect families: Asterolecaniidae (3 species), Coccidae (3), Di- aspididae (7), Eriococcidae (3), Kermesidae (6), Kuwaniidae (1), Mono- phlebidae (1), Pseudococcidae (2), and Putoidae (1). Six of these species represent new records for Israel and five are identified to the genus level. Kuwaniidae is a new family record for Israel. Species that were previously collected or recorded on oaks in Israel are listed and discussed. Information is given about host trees and global distribution. The majority of the spe- cies reported here are monophagous or stenophagous and they appear to be non-pestiferous to the oak trees in Israel. General traits that describe each scale insect family in the field are provided, together with an identification key to aid in the determination of slide-mounted specimens into families represented in this study. KEY WORDS: Scale insect, Coccoidea, oak trees, Quercus, forest, survey, monophagous, univoltine, Mediterranean, Israel INTRODUCTION The genus Quercus (Fagaceae) has a rich and diverse arthropod fauna associated with it (Southwood, 1961; Southwood et al., 2005).

  • An Annotated Checklist of Pluteus in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands
    An annotated checklist of Pluteus in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands A. JUSTO & M.L. CASTRO [email protected] or [email protected]; [email protected] Laboratorio de Micoloxía. Facultade de Bioloxía Campus As Lagoas-Marcosende Universidade de Vigo E-36310 Vigo (Spain) Abstract—Species of Pluteus reported from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal) and Balearic Islands (Spain) are listed, with data on their distribution, ecology and phenology. For each taxon a list of all collections examined and a map of its distribution is given. According to our revision 33 taxa of Pluteus occur in the area. Key words—Pluteaceae, biodiversity Introduction Pluteus Fr. is the type genus of the family Pluteaceae Kotl. & Pouzar (Agaricales, Basidiomycota). Its main characteristics are the pluteoid basidiomes (i.e. free lamellae; context of pileus and stipe discontinuous), pink spores and inverse lamellae trama. It comprises about 300 species (Kirk et al. 2001) and is distributed in all continents except Antarctica (Singer 1986). Monographic studies in the genus had been carried out in Europe (Kühner & Romagnesi 1956, Orton 1986, Vellinga 1990) North America (Smith & Stunz 1958, Homola 1972, Banerjee & Sundberg 1995) and South America (Singer 1958, 1961). A worldwide monographic approach was published by Singer (1956). In the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and Balearic Islands (Spain) the records of Pluteus are often included in general checklists. Prior to our study the only monographic paper on this genus was an article by Muñoz- Sánchez (1991), dealing with species of section Pluteus, mainly based on collections from the Basque Country (northern Spain). Regional studies on Pluteus within the Iberian Peninsula have been published in recent years, as part of the Flora Mycologica Iberica project (Justo & Castro 2004; Justo et al.

Campus As Lagoas-Marcosende Vigo, 36310 Spain Abstract — Species of Volvariella reported from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal) and Balearic Islands (Spain) are listed, with data on their distribution, ecology and phenology. For each taxon a list of all collections examined and a map of its distribution is given. According to our revision 12 taxa of Volvariella occur in the area. Key words — Agaricales, Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota, biodiverstity, Pluteaceae Introduction Volvariella Speg. is a genus traditionally classified in the family Pluteaceae Kotl. & Pouzar (Agaricales, Basidiomycota), but recent molecular research has challenged its monophyly and taxonomic position within the Agaricales (Moncalvo et al. 2002, Matheny et al. 2006). Its main characteristics are the pluteoid basidiomes (i.e. free lamellae; context of pileus and stipe discontinuous), universal veil present in mature specimens as a saccate volva at stipe base, brownish-pink spores in mass and mainly the inverse lamellar trama. It comprises about 50 species (Kirk et al. 2008) and is widely distributed around the world (Singer 1986). Monographic studies of the genus have been mostly carried out in Europe (Kühner & Romagnesi 1956, Orton 1974, 1986; Boekhout 1990) North America (Shaffer 1957) and Africa (Heinemann 1975, Pegler 1977). In the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal) and Balearic Islands (Spain) the records of Volvariella are scattered, as they are often included in general checklists and prior to our study the only taxonomic paper on this genus, in this area, was an article by Vila et al.

Few birds were seen in the early stages of the journey as we sped along the good motorways. Once we had turned off onto minor roads for the final leg of the journey we began to see a few raptors and shrikes. We stopped at a suitable pull in for a light lunch and to acclimatise to the hot dry conditions. Moving on, we were soon climbing towards the hilltop town of Castelo Rodrigo with its ruined castle on the summit. Our hotel was located within the old town just below the castle, where we were soon allocated rooms for our stay. Day 2 Thursday 23rd July Today we headed north to explore the Douro valley. En route we stopped at a roadside viewpoint which was opposite some cliffs where a small colony of Griffon Vultures breed. A couple of birds were seen below us settled on the grassy slopes, and there were a few ‘flyby’ individuals.

  • Quercus Iberica, a New Oak Species Native to Slovakia and Its Differentiation from Q
    ZOBODAT - www.zobodat.at Zoologisch-Botanische Datenbank/Zoological-Botanical Database Digitale Literatur/Digital Literature Zeitschrift/Journal: Wulfenia Jahr/Year: 2020 Band/Volume: 27 Autor(en)/Author(s): Kucera Peter Artikel/Article: Quercus iberica, a new oak species native to Slovakia and its differentiation from Q. polycarpa 251-267 Wulfenia 27 (2020): 251–267 Mitteilungen des Kärntner Botanikzentrums Klagenfurt Quercus iberica, a new oak species native to Slovakia and its differentiation fromQ. polycarpa Peter Kučera Summary: Quercus iberica is an oak taxon identified as Q. polycarpa by some authors. The respective taxonomical approaches to Q. iberica are briefly introduced and the reliable morphological characters for the differentiation of these two taxa which are available during the whole growing season are exemplified on the basis of carefully chosen field samples. Spontaneous occurrence ofQ. iberica in Slovakia is confirmed and current knowledge on its distribution in Slovakia is presented along with a list of exsiccates revised till present. Keywords: dendroflora, Malé Karpaty Mts, oak, Quercus petraea agg., taxonomy, Western Carpathians, Záhorská nížina Lowland The flora of Slovakia counts altogether nine native oak species in the country and one allochthonous species planted in larger number in the forests, Quercus rubra L.
